The trouble with most video cameras is that you can’t share your view of the snow-covered mountain gradient as it rushes to meet you after plunging yourself and your skis into the slopes. You would have to hold your ski poles, not a video camera. Or perhaps you might want to share your perspective of the white, churning, or whirling eddies towards which your rubber dinghy is speeding. But you have to hold your paddles, not a video camera. A great answer to this problem is the Vievu PVR-PRO Video Camera.
This video camera is wearable. Because of its small size, at 3 inches high, 2 inches wide, and three-quarters of an inch thick, you can clip it to your shirt or use a dual pin attachment. By simply sliding the lens cover, it will see what you see and records it in a 1GB internal memory. No buttons to push, no viewfinders to bother about. It does not only pick up images, it also records audio. Your friends will hear you scream as you drop from a precipice or as your raft starts to spin with an eddy.
Since the camera is shock-resistant and waterproof with an IPX5 rating, it will continue recording even after drops and water splashes. Images are recorded at 30 frames per second in a VGA 640 x 480 resolution. The battery lasts up to one hour of recording.
A USB cable is included with the camera for use in downloading captured video to your computer. It is compatible with Windows 2000, XP, and Vista as well as Mac OS X.
